The hard-partying “Tik Tok” singer lives up to her wild reputation with stories of a fantasy all-girl sleepover with Shakira and Sarah Palin, bashing critics of her bisexuality, and sharing her love of trans women.

You may not know Ke$ha’s face or how to pronounce her name (Keh-sha), but her monster hit “Tik Tok” has proved to be an unavoidable presence on the radio and dance floor. Before hitting the road with Sarah McLachlan and Cat Power in the revival of Lilith Fair, the vivacious 22-year-old will be making her way to Palm Springs, Calif., for both Dinah Shore Weekend and the White Party to showcase her distinctive style of pop. Open to making out with men, women, or androgynous types like Adam Lambert, Ke$ha talks with The Advocate about her sexuality, the inspiration she receives from transgender people, and her fantasy of getting Sarah Palin to join her and Shakira for an all-girl sleepover.

The Advocate: I heard a rumor you read The Advocate.
Ke$ha: I do.

What draws you to the gay community?
I just think that gay men have much better taste than any straight man I have met. I have never gotten any grief about having a good time, being unapologetic, and irreverent from a gay man. And let’s be honest, sometimes I wish I was a gay man.

Trust me, it only looks greener on the other side. Beyond just gay men, you have a particular interest in the transgender community. Your not-yet-released music video for “Backstabber” was cast almost entirely with transgender people.
I am a huge fan of the transgender community. I am so not a proper, good female. I can’t dance in high heels and I’m just so not girly, but then I see these men with these banging bodies, dancing in heels, singing, and having so much fun with so much makeup on. That makes me honestly want to be a better woman. It is so fascinating that someone can commit their whole entire lifestyle to being such a fantastic woman when I’m such a bum about it.

How would you describe your sexuality?
I just want to have fun. I think across the board, with my music, my style, my makeup, and my sexuality in life, I don’t think it should be taken so seriously. The reason my record is calledAnimal is because I am an animal, we all are, and we have crazy instincts that maybe aren’t quote-unquote right or socially acceptable, but fuck that. I think people should give in to what they feel like doing at the time and be a raw animal. • Read full story…

Ke$ha has revealed that she is interested in spirituality.

The ’Tik Tok’ singer told The Times that she is “into energy”.

“I recently went to see a past-life regressionist, who is also a psychic,” she continued. “I wear my placenta around my neck every day, because it’s supposed to give you second sight. I feel like I’ve had many lifetimes before.”

Ke$ha added that it irritates her when people regard her as superficial.

“I’m so not a victim,” she said. “I have been working on realising this dream, my path, my mission, for years. I’ve really invested a lot of thought, time and effort into it. The last thing that makes me is a victim.

“I think it’s a bummer when people don’t represent that properly, when they portray me as purely one-dimensional.”

Tik Tok star is a huge fan of pal’s fiancé Russell Brand

Kesha is delighted that pal Katy Perry is getting married to Russell Brand.

The Tik Tok star is hoping she’ll have an important part to play during the wedding.

‘Katy had better ask me to be a bridesmaid,’ she says.

Kesha, 23, is a huge fan of Russell, 34, and wants him to hook her up with one of his friends.

‘He’s so bright and funny,’ she tells The Sun.

‘Maybe he can find me a booty call in London. I love English men!’

Russell proposed to Katy, 25, in India on New Year’s Eve.

Party girl, crank or professional provocateur, the 23-year-old from Nashville twinkles with laughter and passion for life.

There are as many ways of taking Kesha Sebert in conversation as there are of listening to her debut album, Animal. You can skim the froth off the surface and — as a number of notably irate and mostly male reviewers have done — dismiss the 23-year-old from Nashville, and her songs, as lightweight, or calculating, or crude, or bonkers. Many would contend that that last description would apply to the moment, late in our encounter, where she launches into a long riff about positive thinking and reincarnation. “I’m into energy,” she twinkles. “I recently went to see a past-life regressionist, who is also a psychic. I wear my placenta around my neck every day, because it’s supposed to give you second sight. I feel like I’ve had many lifetimes before.” You can view her whole shtick — the provocative videos, the co-opted dollar sign that renders her professional name as Ke$ha, the tales of throwing up in Paris Hilton’s wardrobe and breaking into Prince’s mansion — as Gaga-like attention-seeking, as the antics of someone who is more victim than victor in the cauldron of celebrity culture. Or you can listen, without prejudice, to the case she makes for herself, to the brutally attitudinal or self-aware lyrics, to the outrageously weird, ADHD-frenzied sonic inventiveness of Animal, and conclude that, when it comes to chart pop in 2010, Sebert is right at the front of the pack.

The millions of people who have bought downloads of her songs to date (chiefly, the worldwide smash Tik Tok) most probably just like the tracks. It is safe to assume that none of them has responded to Sebert with anything like the precision vitriol and ostentatious outrage her detractors have huffed and puffed with. The least of these dismissals amounts to labelling the singer, with sometimes barely disguised misogyny, as nothing but a good-time girl. Funny, I thought she was someone who writes and sings brilliant, batty electro-pop.

“So many people,” she sighs, “say, ‘So, what, are you a party girl?’ And I say, ‘I’m a walking good time.’ Do I sometimes go out and drink? Hell, yes. But could I have a No 1 song if I wasn’t also working hard? Maybe that needs a little more respect.

“Also, the phrase ‘party girl’ implies someone who is out at a club, maybe doing some guy in the back who you’ve just met. Then you get in your car and you flash your vagina at the paparazzi. And I’m none of the above. None of the above.” • Read full story…
